Call of The Wild

Review By Nathan:

This is a complete review!

At the start of this book Buck lives with a well to do family in California.  That is until he is dognapped to be a sled dog in the Yukon gold rush.  He soon figures out what the law of club and fang is.  He survives by learning the ways of the wild.  During this time buck starts to dream as himself beside a "hairy man" like a wild ancestor of Bucks would have seen. A feud between him and the head sled dog Spitz develops and so does a fight to they death between them two.   Buck comes out the victor but is eventually transferred to another dog team then another dog team.  This last team is comprises of three lazy people from the American Southland (now called the contiguous United States) who know almost nothing about the Northern wild and sled dogs.  Buck narrowly escapes being drowned through their carelessness.  Buck becomes the loyal partner to John Thornton and they live happily together.  But the local indians attack the camp while Buck is away and kill everyone there.  Buck sets out on a revenge killing spree and kills several indians.  After this with his last connection to mankind dead. Buck becomes a wolf-something that he has desired and dreamed of.  I would not recommend younger children read this book-especially because of the killing at the end and also a few choice words.

The new movie Call of the Wild just came out. I went to see it with my gramma. It varied in several places from the book including how John Thornton dies-he is killed by the man who's sled went threw the ice (in the book this man dies.) All in all it was a fun and good movie.
